Firms named for £1bn Environment Agency framework

Bam Nuttall, Galliford Try, Atkins and Halcrow are among a host of firms to win a place on the Environment Agency’s £1bn water and environment management framework.

The framework will cover the first four years of a ten year spending programme that will see the agency invest £2.5bn in upgrading the nation’s river and coastal flood defences. The framework can be extended for a further two years.

A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: “The award was based equally on price and quality and meets our objective of delivering the best value to the taxpayer. We are committed to transparent procurement and detailed feedback has been provided to all the bidders.”
